After saying these words, the High Priest of Ova withdrew his hand, and at the same time completed the Holy Light treatment of Holger III.

It's just that after the treatment, the old man couldn't see a trace of joy on his face, and Klose hurriedly asked, "How is the old man?" How is my father, the King? ”

The great priest was stunned, this was the first time that someone called him an old man in his dozens of years of life.

It's just that now is not the time to be entangled in the title, but when I saw the old man, he shook his head and sighed: "Alas... Your Majesty, he... I'm afraid time is running out. His body was dead and his breath was dry, and he couldn't be nourished even by the light of the Holy Light.... It is estimated that in addition to the legendary rejuvenation medicine, it can only cure His Majesty's condition, right? ”

Klose's eyelids jumped. Although the old king was only a few acquaintances with him, he was the father of this body anyway, and he was very good to him.

When he first went to the fiefdom of Eagle Stream Canyon, the king not only equipped him with the captain of his personal guard, Kret, but also escorted a lot of coins and food with the team.

If it weren't for Queen Philip's toughness, I believe the king would definitely choose a better fief for Klose.

But it was too late to think about it now, and the only rejuvenating elixir that Klose knew about was the one that Master Kusha had sold when he set up a stall in the Magic Bazaar. But the pill had already been bought by the descendants of the Provençal family.

Now that I think about it, it's all fate....

At this moment, Holger III's eyelids moved, and a low moan came out of his throat: "Hmm.... What's wrong with me? Well? You are... Klose? ”

When the king awoke, he recognized his third son at a glance. It's just that the look of surprise on his face flickered, and then he saw the people around him, as well as the succubus and paladin who were cowering in the corner of the wall and guarded by two orcs.

He closed his eyes, his cheeks tightened slightly, and opened them again.

"Can you all go out for a while? I have something to say to Klose. Archpriest Ova, please order the Praetorian Guards to retreat beyond the cloister. ”

"Yes, my majesty."

The Grand Priest of Ova bowed respectfully, exited the room first, and ordered the guards to exit the corridor.

The orcs pulled up their hoods, and exited the bedroom with the succubus and the hooded Adam.

Klose crouched down beside the old king and came closer.

"Father, if you have anything to say or wish, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to complete it for you."

A complicated look flashed in Holger III's eyes, but he saw his lips move slightly, and said in a very small voice: "Klose.... Seeing you here today may be a providence.... Although I have never believed in any gods in my life.... I want to tell you... All the kings of Holger guarded a secret room.... Only after the new king ascends the throne will the old king himself lead the way.... It's a secret that our Holger family has kept for hundreds of years... And this secret .... It's about you... Or maybe it has something to do with your ancestors. ”

Klose was slightly stunned, I didn't expect there to be such an inside story here? What does it mean to be related to yourself?

Seeing the confusion on his face, the king waved his hand and continued, "I know you have a lot of questions.... But now there is no time .... I must finish these words in one breath.... Otherwise.... I doubt I'll be halfway through.... Just die....

First of all... My baby... You are not surnamed Holger, nor are you my illegitimate child.... I'm just using this method to keep you around to protect and nurture you...."

"What?"

Klose's face changed slightly, he didn't even have the surname Holger? And not the illegitimate son of the king? So who are you??

Of course, he is not very interested in his true identity. Because no matter who this identity is, it is the identity of the previous body owner, and of course he knows what he is about.

But undeniably, the news still surprised him.

But the old king continued to say weakly: "Yes... You are not my illegitimate son .... Therefore... You also don't have to feel overwhelmed by this identity.... Your ancestors were great... It's just buried in the long river of history....

That's why I changed your name to Holger with me... It's because of the curse of your family for generations.... I have to do this.... As for the reason .... I don't have time to explain here... You can only wait for yourself to dig and explore....

First of all, you need to know.... Your ancestor's name was Meteor..... He was one of the emperors during the conflict between the six kings a thousand years ago.... In his heyday, he controlled two continents... and married another emperor .... That is, the predecessor of our Lane Continent.

Then I don't know what happened.... Cause your family's bloodline to be severed.... But I know he's not cut off, but... It's just hidden from light to dark.

Your ancestor Meteor has been cursed with extreme malice and intensity! This curse .... Even if it's been a thousand years... But it still seems to be influencing the descendants of your lineage!

Although I don't know... Do you have any brothers and sisters in this world.... But I know... Your mother should still be alive! ”

The king gasped violently as he spoke, and seemed to be quite strenuous.

Klose reached out to the old king's chest to smooth his breath and gently patted the other man on the back.

He also took out a few salvia slices and put them in the king's mouth.

And the effect of those salvia is also very obvious. Holger III only took a few breaths in his mouth, and his condition instantly stabilized.

For his depleted body, salvia is just a breath of hanging, and this king has really reached the point of no medicine stone at this moment.

"Child.... This is the key to the Holger Chamber of Secrets... This secret room is magical... It's never fixed in a particular location... Rather, it will move on its own... As long as you have this key... The door of the Chamber of Secrets will find you, and you don't have to look for it....

I can't take you to find the secrets inside... It's up to you to explore. And also... I gotta say I'm sorry to you! ”

Klose shook his head: "Father, I don't care about the past thousands of years ago, I only know that you are my father!" ”

The old king's eyes flashed with tears, and he smiled excitedly: "Others say that you are a bastard of three wastes.... But I've always known that you're just good at forbearance....

When I sent you to be a magician's apprentice, the mage used to say.... Your ability to perceive and control magic is far beyond that of ordinary people.... But you can deliberately suppress your abilities... This is for a small child .... That mind is definitely mature....

It's just that I can't pass the throne to you after all.... Please forgive me! Because of your stage.... It can't be confined to a second-rate country in a remote place like Holger.... You are a descendant of that emperor.... It should reign over the entire Six Kings Continent....

And if any day.... You've really done it.... Please also look at our father and son, and leave a bloodline for the Holger family..... I will pass the throne to Philip .... Can you promise me? ”

Klose's face jumped, and to be honest, before he entered the door, even before the king woke up, he had thought that Holger's throne would fall on his head.

Because even the Grand Priest of Ova had acquiesced in this matter, and the palace was now actually under his control, as long as he asked the voice mimicking master of the Ink Wolf Clan to give an order in the name of the king, the Praetorian Guards would all obey his arrangement. And the fact that the old king wants to pass the throne to Philip, as long as he doesn't say it, no one will know.

But will Klose do that? It's clear he won't. To say that he has no desires and no desires is to have wronged him.... It is that everyone has desires, but Klose's desires are not in the struggle for power.

Or.... It is not so much that he has no desires and desires, but that he has no ambitions.

His ideal life is to face the sea and bloom in spring. There is a small courtyard with two or three red faces. You can sow seeds when you are busy, and you can read books when you are free. In the summer, they swim in the sea, and in the winter, they nest in the castle and eat hot pot.

This is his wish, and it is also his greatest pursuit!

You don't mean to let him reign on the Six Kings Continent.... Truth be told, Klose doesn't think he's the same thing.

Not to mention whether his ability can match his ambition, he is not so ambitious.

Now hearing the old king say that he would pass the throne to Philip, Klose's heart was actually relieved?

But Klose clenched the old king's hand and smiled: "Father, don't worry.... I'll be sure to bring your words to Philip. In fact, it is enough to have the fief you gave me. And I, Klose, swear to you here that I will never fight against the people of the Holger family in my lifetime! Of course, my father, if they don't do it to me first. ”

The old king looked a little excited, and he shook Klose's hand instead. I don't know if the salvia has worked, and he can still use a little force?

"I believe you... I believe what you say, kid! I know.... I see the bitterness of your snacks in my eyes.... But the hours of suffering... After all, it will become an important spiritual food in people's growth! Those hardships will turn into motivation for you to move forward as an adult! Even if you don't have the intention of dominating, the king blood in your body will never allow you to be mediocre! And what you're doing now... It's the best proof of that! ”

The meaning of the old king's words could not be more obvious. Klose, who only took more than 20 people with him at that time, not only gained a firm foothold in the Demon Forest, but also subdued many demonic beasts and became his own people. And the fact that he was able to appear in the bedroom of the king of the palace at this moment already said it all.

Klose took a deep breath and patted Holger's palm.

"Father, I still want to thank you... Anyway, I'm part of Holger! ”

The old king's eyes were hazy .... He closed his eyes slightly, put his hands flat in front of him, and said softly, "I'm tired.... I want to sleep for a while.... Goodbye my kids... Goodbye my country... I'm really tired...."

Holger III spoke in a low voice, until he had finished the last word, and his breathing stopped.

Klose didn't cry, he didn't suffer, he was at peace. At least as the old king, at the last moment when he left the world, he did not leave any regrets. This is also a point that he can feel happy about as a son.

Taking a deep breath, Klose shouted and called the man at the door in.

The Grand Priest of Ova saw the king's eyes closed and instantly understood what had happened.

He knelt down on his knees with one hand on his chest, and cried out to his majesty with sorrow.

Klose, on the other hand, said in a calm tone, "Grand Priest of Ova.... Send a Praetorian Guard to the west to find Prince Philip. His Majesty the King has decreed that Holger will be the next heir to the throne.... For Philippe Holger! ”
